Yes I do charge for trials. I offer 2 hour makeup trials which include airbrush if requested, where your bridal look is created or a 3 hour trial that also includes hair styling. I prepare a detailed face chart which is used to ensure that you will look exactly the same on your wedding day as you do at your trial. I also offer invaluable hints and tips for skin and hair preparation to prepare you for your big day.
Do you provide any specialty services? (airbrushing, hair extensions, etc.)
For those brides who are looking for luxurious red carpet treatment, I offer speciality services such as airbrush makeup application. Feel free to bring clip-in hair extensions with you to your trial and/or wedding day. I regularly work with hair extensions and am very comfortable creating many hairstyles using them.
I am completely mobile and will come to you directly for your trial and wedding day at your convenience. I do not charge for travel within the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area including Barrie, Ontario. Outside of this area you will incur a small travel charge.
How many customers can you serve at one time if the bride were to book her entire bridal party?
I am able to accommodate wedding parties of any size. For larger wedding parties I work closely with valued and trusted assistants who work to my standards and timelines. My overriding priority is the level of customer service provided to my clients. To this end I only work with assistants who understand and agree with this ethic and who demonstrate the same degree of professionalism and quality as I strive to provide. Large wedding parties will incur a small additional fee which will be included in your initial quote.
How far in advance should I book your services?
Clients should book services a minimum of 6 - 9 months in advance of their wedding day. I am often booked up to a year in advance during high wedding season.
Do you specialize in textured hair?
I am very experienced working with all hair textures although I do not specialize in natural African American hair.
My makeup artist just cancelled on me - can you accommodate my last minute request.
Yes, I can accommodate your request provided I do not have a previous booking on the same day. I often refer brides who I am unable to accommodate (due to other bookings) to trusted colleagues that may be available to accomodate your request.
I do not cut or colour hair. I can style hair for your wedding including updo's, braids, french twists, styled down and more. I am able to refer you to some of the best colour specialists and salons in most major North American cities to accommodate you if you require a colour and/cut.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you cancel your booking your deposit is not refundable; if you cancel your booking after cleared funds are received, before and including a booking date. If I am obliged to cancel your booking every effort will be made to provide a replacement makeup artist of equivalent ability and cost. No guarantee is offered or implied as regards the ability or availability of a replacement makeup artist. If a replacement artist accepts the assignment, your deposit will be passed onto that artist. If a replacement makeup artist cannot be provided your deposit will be refunded in full.
